More tips:
1. Max. number of troops you can command is limited by your leadership value.
2. No matter what class you are playing, you need some skills from the other classes' skill tree.
3. One important skill is "Glory" in the Mind skill tree, which increases your leadership. So don't spend your starting skill points just yet - fight some battles, collect some runes, and put a point or two in Glory first.
4. Look for treasures on the map. Particularly hunt for flags - they increase your leadership.
5. Monsters wander around the islands, or stand guarding treasures. When they see you approach, most of them will chase you.
6. We have a term here: "Kiting". It means you approach a stack of monsters you don't want to fight and let it chase you. Lead it away to an open area, and run around to grab the treasure the monsters was guarding.
7. Use your pet dragon. Inquisitors, available to you right away, has the ability to increase your rage (which your pet dragon uses). Pet dragons is the best friend for a starting character.
8. Take the ship and explore other islands you can get to. Even if you can't fight anything there, you can kite them. Bolo for example has at least a flag, a stat boost and likely some loose gold.
